I am going by the digital readout, maybe it is not accurate.

My 85 vette gets 21 mpg on the highway and my 84 vette gets about 27 on the highway. What should I check for. I have replaced plugs wires cap & rotor, fuel filter, removed air pump, removed cat, added K&N, cut airlid and even added the dreaded air foil and replaced the throttle positin sensor(because of a code).
Could it be the injectors? How would I be able to check they still on the car? Could some of the injectors be spraying extra fuel? I have no codes being thrown. When I first got the car a year ago I added the above stuff and it went from 16 mpg blowing blue smoke to 21 mpg and no smoke, execpt on the odd start up after it has sit for a week.

There is another intake soon to be released and I am not talking about the x-ram or the sy1 or the offy. It is made by "dynamic crossfire solutions" and it is called the "renegade". They are in the final stages befor releasing it. I have seen photos of it on the crossfire injection forum. They have not yet shown pictures of the inside of the intake, but it is a true cross ram design according to this company. They just want to tweek it to squeeze maximum power out of it before they release it.

I have noticed that there are about 100 people posting on all of the forums. Where are the rest of the corvette owners? Are they not aware of these forums? Are they to cool to post on these forums?
Are we considered the geek squad of the corvette world? How much time a day do you spend on these forums? What forums do you puruse? I visit: C4 GURU , corvette forum, digital corvettes, corvette action center,
